So, here we are, at Friday already. This week seems to have gone quickly, yet other times it seems to have taken FOREVER to end. On Wednesday I could not believe it was not the weekend yet.
Wednesday we went to the pre-trial hearing for one of the young men accused of vandalizing our rental. He was the one who used to live in that house with his mom and step dad. His biological dad was at this hearing and from what the Procecutor told us, the boy had not been honest up to this point with his parents and when the police reports were shown to the parents, it was a bit of a surprise to them to see the extent of the damages. All 3 have now pled guilty to one felony as a plea bargin. We go before the judge sometime in May to hear sentencing and find out about restitution.
Yesterday Steve went back to Ann Arbor for another post-op check. This time we got good news- the healing is doing well so the stitches and everything came out!! We are all relieved with this. We go back in 2 weeks for another check, but everything is looking GREAT!! I am very happy to see a pretty normall looking belly button. Steve has decided it was worth the surgery now - a big change from 2 weeks ago when he was in so much agony he was sorry we ever did it.
The renovations continue in the rental. Mike changed the window in the bathroom since we pulled the plaster off the walls rather than try to strip the wall paper and then hope the wall underneath was in good condition. It needed insulation anyway - we found absolutuly NONE in that bathroom's walls. He even re-wired it - much needed in this old house. The workers we hired have hung all the drywall now and the last of the wall paper should be down soon. She is properly fixing the cracks in the plaster (not too many are in there either, that was a very pleasant surprise) as she goes, so the bedroom is just needing the layers of mud over the joints and then sanded. We will order the carpet soon so it is here and ready as soon as I have it all painted. Home Depot will lay it in both rooms for only $97 in labor - well worth not doing that ourselves!!
